At the heart of each class, I want my students to fall in love with being happy and healthy, not just for the time they are with me but for the entirety of their lives. I believe Physical Education is so much more than just teaching students to play sports well; I teach a blend of vital life skills. I am teaching my students about positive self-esteem, how to work well with others, problem-solving skills, healthy ways of dealing with stress, understanding their bodies, the importance of teamwork, the ability to advocate for themselves, and how, even when you make a mistake, you are still learning. Among many other important life lessons, I teach them how to fall in love with exercise and fitness.
